it sounds like the beginning of a monologue, like "i am sitting in a room..."

It sounds like the first line of every new screen in an text-based computer game (excuse me, "INTERACTIVE FICTION"): "You are standing in a leafy glade. To the north, a path leads into the dark interior."

"to the south, a family in matching tracksuits, screaming at each other by the quantas ticket desk"

i missed the QUEBEC Office!

i think the show was either
"made in canada"
or
"the newsroom"

i only saw one episode and it revolved around the anchor guy reporting on a story in which he was being accused of some pedophile shit and he was convinced that he was guilty.

― rrrobyn, breeze blown meadow of cheeriness (rrrobyn), Friday, 12 January 2007 23:45 (6 years ago) Permalink

so far i:

1) bought a breakfast bagel and coffee
2) watched CNN coverage of state of the union
3) fell asleep waiting for my flight to board
4) woke up about two minutes two late to still board.
5) got a boarding pass for the next flight (in two hours)
6) chugged some Air-Borne

I'm in an airport.

The ZRH terminal's color scheme is blue-grey and slate with a touch of red from the Swiss souvenir shop. I have an unconscious feeling that background music is playing somewhere but in true Enoian spirit I can't discern it. Large windows face the main runway and taxiways and there's just enough sunlight filtering through the clouds to vaguely color everything outside. With the exception of some ugly Americans (the ugliest being a loud guy in a Green Bay Packers sweatshirt who was berating a Swiss shopclerk because he couldn't take a liquid-filled snowglobe on a plane) most everyone here is pretty well dressed - businessmen taking one of the many outgoing flights to France, Germany, and Dubai.

Overall, I feel like I'm in a photo shoot for Nokia advertisments.

Zurich airport is my favorite airport in the world. That's right.

― is anyone anticipating the new Baaderonixx? (baaderonixx), Monday, 5 February 2007 09:59 (6 years ago) Permalink

I felt so out of place in the Zurich airport when I was on my way back from my summer holidays a couple of years ago. A 5 hr wait, after spending 24 hrs hopping on 3 planes back from China.

It sure is pretty though.

and the chocolate/sweet shop was great.

my flight was supposed to leave maine an hour ago but the plane i am supposed to be on hasn't even left laguardia yet. all of the shops are closed so i cannot even buy magazines or orange juice.

i also got sonned by airport security in an embarrassing gel-based personal product i didn't know i even had in my backpack (that must have been there from...summer?) beef :O

― bell_labs, Monday, 30 April 2007 00:45 (6 years ago) Permalink

omg insult to injury with gel-based product pwn
you have the internet though! now is the time to learn something new and interesting. or distract yourself with celebrity gossip. the choice it is up to you.

― rrrobyn, Monday, 30 April 2007 00:53 (6 years ago) Permalink

my plane is finally in the air and should be here in 45 miinutes @_@ we'll see. i opted to read ilx instead of something new and interesting!

― bell_labs, Monday, 30 April 2007 01:23 (6 years ago) Permalink

Haha omg for a moment there I thought you meant the plane was in the air with you in it! I was all "awesome, ILX posting while flying".

they banned ILX on public planes to minimize barf bag usage.
